    • Nano-CuO inhibited voltage-gated sodium current of hippocampal CA1 neurons via reactive oxygen species but independent from G-proteins pathway 

      Liu, Z.; Liu, S.; Ren, Guogang; Zhang, T.; Yang, Z. (2011)
      The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nano-CuO on voltage-gated sodium current (INa) in hippocampal CA1 neurons. The results suggested that nano-CuO inhibited amplitudes of INa currents and prolonged peak ...

    • Delusion-prone individuals : stuck in their ways? 

      Laws, K.R.; Kondel, Tejinder; Clarke, R.; Nillo, A-M. (2011)
      Although false memories and confabulation have been linked to both executive dysfunction and greater suggestibility, similar associations with the emergence of delusional thinking remain unexamined. We therefore compared ...

      Rogers, C.; Villar, R.; Pisal, P.; Yearley, Carole (2011)
      Following the publication of guidance from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) (2007), Syntometrine was withdrawn in practice for routine use as part of the active management of the third stage ...

    • Linking teaching and research in environmental sciences 

      Blumhof, Jennifer (2003)
      Investigating a link between teaching and research in the environmental sciences highlights the problem so admirably described by John Passmore (1974) in the early 1970s as being “forced to slosh around in the ooze that ...

    • Using problem-based learning to develop graduate skills 

      Blumhof, Jennifer; Hall, M.; Honeybone, Andrew (2001)
      The Hertfordshire Integrated Learning Project’s (1)(HILP) model for developing Graduate Skills is based on the integration of skills development with academic content using problem-based learning (PBL) as the integrative ...

    • An overview of ballast water treatment methods 

      McCluskey, D. K.; Holdo, A. E.; Calay, R. K. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2005)
      One of the greatest threats to the world's oceans is the transfer and potential introduction of harmful organisms in environments to which they are not indigenous. Ballast water deposited by marine vessels has been identified ...

    • Eukaryotic nuclear RNA polymerases (EC 2.7.7.6) 

      Cook, D.A.; Slater, Robert (1993)
      DNA-dependant RNA polymerases (ribonucleoside triphosphate: RNA nucleotidyltransferase, EC2.7.7.6) catalyse the synthesis of RNA from ribonucleoside triphosphates in the presence of a DNA template and divalent cation (1). ...

    • Mung-bean nuclease 1 (EC 3.1.30.1) 

      Sharp, A.J.; Walker, John (1993)
      Mung-bean nuclease 1 was first purified by Sung and Laskowski (1) in 1962 from mung-bean sprouts (Phaseolus aureus). It belongs to the class of enzymes EC 3.1.30.1., which has a preference for single-stranded nucleic acid ...
